After recently sticking my head into the liberal hornets nest called the Raleigh News & Observer, the following quotes seem appropriate:

An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it." Jeff Cooper

“Criminals are not dissuaded by soft words, soft judges or easy laws. They are dissuaded by fear and they are prevented from repeating their crimes by death or by incarceration.” Ronald Reagan, 1975

"Sadly, being helpless themselves, sheep tend to instinctively fear anything with canine teeth. Many of them cannot distinguish between the wolf and the sheepdog, and thus fear them both equally."- Massad Ayoob
